They’ve already got a good squad at the minute; the manager will just be looking to put together an even better squad.

I’m sure there will be players who head the other way, too. It seems to be the same names cropping up when you hear any rumours about who could be leaving – Apostolos Vellios, for instance.

I think you’ve got to feel sorry for him. He did really well in pre-season and Everton fans didn’t want to see him leave when he was there, so he must have something about him.
